Grammar school
The school was opened in 1939 as a girls' grammar school by the City of Leeds Education Committee. The school had previously been on Harrogate Road near Stainbeck Lane since 1901, and moved to Moor Allerton in 1939.
In the 1960s it had around 700 girls.
Comprehensive
In 1972, boys were included in the student body and the school became a 13–18 comprehensive. It later became an 11–19 comprehensive, and in 1992 underwent a physical expansion.
Current buildings
The school moved into new buildings on 1 September 2008, and there was a formal opening by Prime Minister Gordon Brown on 28 November 2008.
Other information
The school has a standard uniform, comprising a dark green V-necked top printed with the school logo, a white shirt, a green and white school tie, a dark green skirt (girls only) or black trousers (either sex), and black shoes (heels to be no higher than 5 cm) with black socks. A dark green or black headscarf may be worn. The school is involved in the Excellence in Cities initiative. Its motto was "In Minimis Fidelis" until 2004, when it was changed to "Enabling Young People To Achieve Success".
The new building includes a substantial multi-faith centre.
The school was used in 2010 for the filming of Married Single Other, making it one of a small number in Leeds to be used on television including Allerton Grange School and Foxwood School.
